Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Tar-Pamlico
River Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Wynn:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 0.086 acres of wetland, 2501inear feet of stream and 13,137 square feet (ftZ)
of protected riparian buffers (9,387 square feet Zone 1, and 3,750 square feet Zone 2) for the purpose of
constructing a residential subdivision on the subject property as described within your application dated
December 16, 2005 and received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on January 9, 2006, with
additional information received by the DWQ on February 8, 2006. After reviewing your application, we
have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3404
(GC3404). The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 14 (NW 14) when issued by the
US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). This Certification replaces the Certification issued on February
13, 2006. This letter shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected
riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B .0259. In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any
other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not
limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, and Non-discharge regulations. Also, this approval to
proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your
application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold,
the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of
wetland or 1501inear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A
NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and any additional conditions listed below.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general•
conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are
approved including incidental impacts: *~

Sediment and Erosion Control:
2. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing
the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in
order to protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the Nort/r Carolina
Sedime~it and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in tl~e most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices
shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and
stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
3. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the 404/401 Permit Application. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best
Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur;
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the
Division of Land Resources has released the project;
5. Protective Fencing -The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor
within these boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning
fencing (or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the
buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with 15 NCAC 2H,
Section .0500;
Deed Notifications -Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained
jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future
wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any
wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and
Authorization Certificate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit
web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The text of the sample deed notification may be
modified as appropriate to suit to this project;
